Why nobody believes your science

Communicating scientific ideas effectively is a really hard gig. From science sceptics to science lovers, it all comes down to how people respond to and process evidence.

In December 2019, I participated in a one-day course at the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science in New York. The course was called ‘Power Connection: Reshaping the Future for Women in STEM’. The focus was not just on communicating science. It also addressed challenges that female researchers might face in their scientific careers by using the acting method of improvisation as a tool to improving skills such as persuasion, negotiation, listening and presence.
